On the way back, the old king kept rambling in Ming Li's ear. Ming Li suppressed the urge to get rid of him and listened expressionlessly.
"You know that Red Anna is a witch, why did you still go on an adventure?! Do you know how worried your father was?"
"You are not allowed to mess around like this again next time!"
"......"
Ming Li, whose ears were almost calloused from listening, twitched the corners of her mouth. She looked at the still chattering old king expressionlessly and asked, "Do you seem to like wearing a cuckold's hat?"
The old king, "......"
Hearing this, the old king choked and finally shut up.
Why did Ming Li send Landrin back to Red Anna's side?
As everyone knows, where there are male and female protagonists, there is trouble. Therefore, instead of keeping the male protagonist by her side to torment the subjects of Lanan Kingdom, it is better to send him back to torment his mother.
......
Time flies, and fifteen years have passed in a blink of an eye.
The old king grew even older and reached the age of abdication.
But...
Who would inherit the throne?
On this day, the old king, with his hair and beard white, leaned on his cane and said to the servant beside him, "Notify them, there will be a family banquet tonight, and they should all come back."
Hearing this, the servant bowed and left.
Soon it was dinner time, and the princes and princesses all arrived.
Before long, they saw the old king arriving at the banquet hall riding on Da Hei.
"Father, why did you call us back this time?"
One of the princes asked doubtfully.
The old king waved his hand, sat in his seat, cleared his throat, and said, "Your father is old and useless. It's time for someone else to take this position. You can say whatever you think."
Everyone, "???"
A group of princes and princesses looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Finally, their eyes all fell on Ming Li, who was drinking peach blossom wine.
At this time, Ming Li had shed her immaturity, exuding a lazy aura all over, dangerous and charming.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Ming Li raised her eyebrows, calmly put down the wine jar in her hand, and asked in a faint voice, "What are you looking at?"
Princes and Princesses, "......"
It's over, Big Sister is more and more terrifying!
Everyone immediately withdrew their gaze, looking at the sky, looking at the ground, but just not daring to look at Ming Li.
"You brat! Scaring your siblings again!"
Seeing this, the old king skillfully picked up the royal seal on the desk and threw it towards Ming Li.
Ming Li twitched the corner of her mouth and dodged the flying royal seal.
A group of princes and princesses saw this and understood. It turned out they were just here to make up the numbers. The royal seal was thrown at their Big Sister, so the throne must have nothing to do with them.
They were ready to pretend not to see anything that they were supposed to cooperate with their acting.
They all knew that among their thirteen siblings, Ming Li was the most qualified to sit on that throne, so at this moment, none of them spoke.
As if knowing what everyone was thinking, Ming Li raised her eyebrows and said helplessly, "Whoever wants to sit can sit, I'm not coming anyway."
Everyone, "......"
Just as the atmosphere in the room became awkward, a young man's arrogant voice came from outside the door, "Father! I am also your child, and I am qualified to compete for this throne!"
Everyone looked over and saw a handsome young man in a dark blue formal dress walk in. The young man had golden hair, a tall posture, and a handsome face.
At this moment, he was holding a platinum scepter in his hand, exuding the aura of a nouveau riche and a full display of arrogance, which made the princes and princesses feel disgusted.
"Who are you?"
The sixth prince looked at the young man at the door doubtfully and asked.
"What?" The young man at the door said with some shock and annoyance, "You don't even remember me?!"
Everyone, "So, who are you?"
"Appearing in the palace without permission, you must not be a good person, come quickly! Guards! Protect me! Take him down!"
